Give MURRAY some credit shall we!! He's beaten the "Greatest Hardcourt Player"

[wow246]

The apparent greatest hard court player of all time and murray has beaten him 4 times in a row.

Time for ppl to stop looking for excuses to defend fed and acknowledge that murray now too has fed's number!!!

Excellent thread wow246. He is indeed a special player. I believe he will go on to become the greatest player of all time. You can join us in this thread discussing Murray's brilliance: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=238882

He is way underrated on these forums.

Good thread ! There are a lot of underrated players on this forum. Except Fed. he's overrated. Murray is a brilliant player, watch out Fed, Nadal and Djoko, Murray's going to keep on doing damage.

Murray is going to have a lot of people's 'numbers' by the end of the year. We may see Rafa/Murray finals more than Fed/Nadal finals this year if their form stays true.

Gratz to Murray he taken out Fed much to the dismay and disappointment of Fed fans around the world. You did a great thing mate

 

[Telepatic]

Lets see Murray on clay/grass.

The silver lining

We Federer fans have to look at the bright side; Murray probably saved Federer from another defeat at the hands of Nadal!

I think the Aus Open final will prove disastrous for Federer going forward. I don't think even one of the greatest of all time will easily get over losing a grandslam final that he should have won.

Should've Could've Would've ain't good enough here as you can see

Agree with this guy...but the thing is that there are too many Fed fans on this forum...too shame, but he already started to lose some of his "fans"

 

[Safinator_1]

All the Fed fans are getting alot of trash on them don't know if its fun being a fed fan now lol

Not at a slam. Where it matters the most....

Agreed..............................

 

[Jchurch]

I also think we need to see how he fairs against Federer in the 5 setters.

 

[Frankauc]

exactly, Ndal and Fed are still the kings of best of five

 

[GameSampras]

Fed isnt the greatest hardcourt player of all time. If he was the greatest Hardcourt player of all time, he wouldnt be losing to Nadal on hardcourts

 

[roddickfan90]

if federer isn't the greatest hardcourt playa of all time - then he isn't the greatest of any surface

sampras - grass
nadal/borg - clay
unknown - hard

Ok he lost once to Nadal at the AO but let's remember how close it was.

IMO, the greatest HC player of all time is either Sampras or Fed (Fed for sure if he can win this year's USO).

and lets not forget that nadal didn't win the AO - federer lost it

Fed is definitely one of the best.. But I just dont see how Nadal is among the best on hardcourts to ever play the game. His strengths are more geared towards clay and slow grass at this point.

Just my opinion though. Fed definitely is one of the best to ever play on hards no question about it. Is he the "best ever" on Hardcourts? I dunno about that. Hes certainly up there though.

There are so many greats on hard. Tilden, Andre, Pete etc. Would these guys get consistently beaten by Nadal on hardcourt? I dont see it.


Whiile Nadal is definitely solid on the hards, I wouldnt categorize as him as a hardcourt legend yet. Thats for sure.

The hardcourt GOAT could be up in the air for a few players at this point

 

[GameSampras]

sampras - grass
nadal/borg - clay

That could very well be. You can make an argument for quite a few players on hard. Sampras owns grass, Borg and Nadal of course own clay

Following that line of logic why not Give Nadal credit?

Nadal has beaten the greatest grass court player, hard court player....hell even some says the g.o.a.t.
